As a Minecraft mod, yeah...

I just mean in general. Twisting the fabric of the temporal sheet, seeing the unknown unknowns.

You'd probably need exotic physics for that, but once you have it, it may as well be magic. I mean, the stuff we have right now may as well be magic. Or aliens.

To me, magic is what you call a repeatable phenomenon that doesn't have a proper explanation, so once you explain it, the magic is gone. For a universe that has classical magic, to them, that's just normal everyday life, even if it's restricted to scholars of magic (basically wizards). Only if you have an enforced separation between those who understand magic and those who don't (kinda like Harry Potter, even though I never understood anything beyond the first book/movie) are you allowed to call it magic.

Would it be cool? Absolutely, but then programming/computers is just as cool because, in the right hands (EG, you know computer graphics), you can create an entire universe and be able to show it to others.

Let me program a reality for you

I swore I thought I saw Punic...

[Sir Punicpunch 1,688]

Nope, nuh uh, no way.

Definitely wasn't thinking of something to say earlier but came up with nothing except:

"Oh, this place is empty" like some kind of person who points out the extremely obvious.

[Moon Rat 4,772]

Thanks Captain obvious! 

Now on to weather.

 

 

 

 

 

It's wet...

It's empty because no one posts because it's empty

You'll never guess what I figured out. Hint: it starts with "neural networks" and ends with all the nonsense it spat out.

Boy, Cities: Skylines is fun!

Especially when you mess up traffic so bad you go backrupt!

Why am I so bad at building cities...

Oh yeah? And what would that be?

Nothing, actually... I got nothing...

Then again, if you know astronomically more about RTS games than I ever did, I'm in the same position as you are with city-builders.

I'm about as happy about my new city as I was upset about my city before.

It's going so well now, except for the garbage disposal system though, it gets backed up a lot.

On a scale of "your city is full of dead people" to "your city is swimming in poop", how bad?

More like people have to leave their garbage cans near the street for weeks while continuously bringing out more garbage bags.

I'm employing the age old method of getting rid of it via fire, it's working pretty well to be honest.

Remind me to never live in your city.

Then again, I get so hung up with road systems that that's all I ever focus on, so you probably wouldn't live in my city, either...

Hey now, it's only sometimes. Once I get the situation under control it'll be beautiful.

Plus, my city runs on 99 percent clean energy. (The 1 percent is from the garbage turbines)

Road systems are hard... my main roundabout doesn't work super well.

That's 'cause it's a roundabout; well, if it works, it works, but when it doesn't work, that's worse.

Uhh...

Okay, it doesn't work *that* bad.

But I will fix it eventually.

[Ganaram Inukshuk 3,682]

Just throw bigger roads at the problem and you'll fix it soon enough.

Yeah, My roundabout is a large roundabout with 6 lanes.
